Classes!

Things have been very busy this past month and yes, it's been a while since i've updated. We’ve been exploring the town and meeting a lot of new people. We also went to Pisa, but more about that later. First, I will start off by talking about my classes!

Monday I have class from 8:45am-6pm. Long day! I’m taking Collections, which basically means you create a "fashion" collection of technical flat designs that corresponds to a specific theme. I like it a lot so far, i'm learning so much about drawing and the correct way to develop a fashion design collection. For this class, by teacher will go back and forth between English and Italian to explain everything. Then, I have Italian Language from 12:30-2:30. We have a really small class and I like my teacher a lot so i'm very happy to be fulfilling some Italian credits here! My third class from 3:00pm-6:00pm is Italian Literature. This is probably my least favorite class (I really hope my teacher doesn't see this hah...) She's obsessed with homework, projects, reading, presentations, everything! Not gonna lie, she drives me a little crazy with that stuff... BUT she is also a very good teacher and I like her a lot.

Tuesday I have fashion illustration in the morning. In this class, we just work on our sketches and fashion figures. The professor is supposed to be amazing, but she doesn’t speak any english, like at all! Haha It's not like anything i'm used to back at the states but she's an amazing fashion illustrator so i'm giving her a chance ;) I've only had about 3 classes with her and already my sketches have improved so much! After that, I have my Italian class again, Monday- Thursday 12:30-2:30.

Wednesday I have Fashion CAD (computer aided design). This teacher doesn't speak very much English which has been proving to be kind of difficult at times. So I just do my best to follow the instructions and the presentation she does at the beginning of class. It's a cool class though, I'm working with the program, OptiTex CREATE, it's a really expensive design program but so far all we've done are technical flat skirt patterns on it. I'm excited for when I get to create actual designs of my own. And then of course I have my Italian class.

Lastly, on Thursdays I only have my Italian class which is pretty sweet. And no class on Fridays!!! :D

Overall, I like my classes and I like that I have free time for travel and museums.

Ciao! <3
